The Bloomington Fair.

The first fair of the Blake's Prairie
Agricultural Society ON their new
grounds was successful one. The So
ciety has been to an expense of about
$1,000 for new grounds, new track
new buildings, new everything, and
they deserved better weather than they
got-especially on the second day. On
thatday owing to the threatening wealth
er, the crowd was small, but they were
treated to good display and good rae
ing all the same. The track is b. shaped
and win in time make an excellent one.
Owing to the failure of our Blooming
ton correspondent to get his report here
in time, we cannot this week make the
mention of meritorious entries that we
had intended. Would say, however,
that the display in Floral Hall was fine.
Crazy quilts, tidys. afghans, etc., all
representing care and skill, were there.
The floral display was unusually fine.
In room adjoining We're displays Of
hardware, furniture, carpets harnesses,
etc.
In the agricultural department were
the biggest pumpkins we ever saw.
One, raised by John Boorman, of Wya-
lusing, was marked ia pounds, but Mr..
Boorman says he thinks its actual
weight is about 125ibs.
Our townsman, Mr.. A. Schmitt, had
handsome display of dozen different
varities of grapes. The corn and other
cereals, and Vegetables of all kinds were
creditable display.
The show of cattle and horses on the
last day was splendid. Among the cat
tic none showed to better advantage
than the Herefords. Mr.. Miner had a
fine bull, as did also the Smith Bros,
who had beside COW and two hand
some calves. There was also good
show of Shorthorns, Holsteins and Gal
loways.
Among the horses the fine stock of
George Lumpkin was conspicuous, while
the Medoc stock showed to good advan-
tage.
The tiotting race on Thursday and
the free-for-all Friday were contested
by the same horses: Midnight, Medoc
and Lady Cutler, and the money in
each was taken in that order.
The green trotting race was won by
Schulte's Brown Billy.
The running race for West Grant
horses was won by Dancing Jack, and
the free for all by Lille Lochiel. The
mule race between Cleveland, Blaine
and St. John was won by Cleveland.
The combination of Cleveland and St
John, of course. beat Blain, but he was
fresh and ready to run again-if he got
chance efr2
The attendance on the last day was
estimated at $500 The full report of
the fair by our bloomington correspon-
dent will be found in next weeks HER.

Lines on the death OF Harry, only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. III. H. Bailey, of
St. Paul, MINI.
Look on his pretty face for just one minute,
His little frock his dainty buttoned shoe
His firm shut hand, his fayorite plaything In it
And tell me, mothers, wonld it not be hard for
And miss him from your side.
The little boy that died.
How many another boy as dear and charming,
His father hope, his mothers one delight,
Slips through strange sickness, all fear dis
And lives a long. long life. In parents sightI
He was so short pride
And then poor Harry died
But yet often think he is living
Living as the other children are.
When good night kisses you are giving,
Keepone for him though he's so far.
Can mere grave divide
You from him, though he died.
Our dear ones may die and leave our
hearts and homes desolate for time,
we cannot prevent it nor would it be
best if we could. Sorrow has its useful
lessons. and death is the gate that opens
out of earth toward the house eternal
IN tne heavens. Ii we 1850 them
heaven gains them, if we mourn, they
rejoice that we shall soon be with them
in their sweet eternal home which
death never enters and partings are
never known. We may love the de-
parted, they are ours as ever and we
are theirs. Other friendships on earth
will not disturb these bonds that link
with dear ones on high. FRIEND.

NARROW EsCAPE.-A day or two ago
Jim Harris, down on Boice Creek, had
a pretty close call. He went into the
pasture 10 attend to his stock, when he
was attacked by two year old bull.
Realizing that in bull fight, discretion
is the better part of valor, he attempted
to escape by running. The bull holly
pursued him and Harris fel!-fortunate-
ly into ditch. The bull made lunge
at him and drove his horns into the
ground on either side of Harris
body. While the bull was gathering
himself for fresh charge Harris was
attempting to get out of the ditch, and
was sufficiently raised from the groun
so that when the second charge came
the horns of the Infatuated animal pas
sed beneath him and Harris was thrown
high in the air, alighting on his feet.
He made q run for it and some men
who came up at this juncture drove
the bull back and Harris made COED
his escape with. 1t was n fortunate
chance that would not serve, one in
such an emergency, once in ten thous-
and times, but the risk of going near
these dangerous creatures is one which
few seem to realize as large number
of serious accidents each year testify.
